Hi, I'm Mehdi! 👋
Software engineer passionate about building scalable solutions with Python, TypeScript, and cloud technologies.
My Story
I'm a software engineer currently based in the Netherlands, where I'm also learning Dutch 🇳🇱. My journey in tech started with a curiosity about how things work behind the scenes, which eventually led me to specialize in backend development and cloud technologies.
I have a strong focus on Python and TypeScript, and I'm passionate about building scalable, maintainable solutions. Whether it's designing APIs, setting up cloud infrastructure, or optimizing performance, I enjoy the challenge of solving complex problems.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring the beautiful Dutch countryside, practicing my Dutch (still working on those tricky pronunciation rules!), or contributing to open source projects. I believe in sharing knowledge, which is why I maintain this blog to document my learnings and discoveries.
